Made a short little duck hunt Saturday AM (don&#39;t worry, I&#39;ll get to fishing). We scratched out one greenhead. Saw LOTS of ducks... a surprisingly large number. They just didn&#39;t want where we were (except for the wayward greenhead).<br /><br />Then I headed home, hooked up my boat and returned to the lake for a short afternoon foray. Crappie fished one spot... nada. Decided to catch a handful of bluegill and turn &#39;em into catfish bait.<br /><br />Catfished about 45 minutes... got bit once (see below).<br /><br />Went and crappie fished another spot... had a hard time staying on it because the wind was whippin&#39; pretty good. But once I got it marked and found just the right combo of lure and countdown, I started &quot;smackin&#39; &#39;em!&quot; Put a dozen keepers in the boat in pretty short order.<br /><br />And the moral of this story... I did every one of these things all within sight of each other. From where we duck hunted, we could have dropped pellets on every spot I fished.<br /><br />We really do live in a very cool place. emoThumbsup <br />
